#3 – Hold On To Your Electronics
We all know technology advances with the speed of light, but honestly, there is no need to change your old flat screen TV with a new one, just because it’s a NEW one. Still, if you are an electronics shopping addict, there are a few thing you can do in order to try and stay environmentally friendly:
- Hold on to your electronics as long as you can, especially those you use occasionally
- Recycle your Smartphone and old mobile phones – there are great buyback programmes that not only help you help the environment, but you also get amazing discounts just for bringing in those phones you kept in a closet
- Go to electronics recycling events and donate all the appliances you no longer use. They will go to someone who needs them or taken apart and recycled instead of lying on the ground for thousands of years, waiting to decompose
